Jonathan Moore, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was placed on deferred adjudication. About six months later, the State filed a motion to adjudicate, alleging several violations of the conditions of his community supervision. Appellant then signed a document waiving his right to appeal as part of a plea-bargain arrangement. The trial court adjudicated appellant's guilt and sentenced him to five years' imprisonment, pursuant to the terms of the plea agreement. The court also signed a certificate reciting that the case is a plea bargain case and that appellant has no right to appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(a)(2). We therefore dismiss the appeal. Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(d) (if trial court does not certify that defendant has right to appeal, “appeal must be dismissed”).
Dismissed
David Puryear, Justice
